BB-8 is getting all the attention right now, but next year there'll be another adorably rotund hero trying to steal the spotlight. Actually, there'll be a whole village of them. DreamWorks has unleashed a new trailer for Kung Fu Panda 3, which once again features Jack Black as the voice of unlikely martial arts master Po.

Po discovers to his delight that not only is his father (voiced by Bryan Cranston) still alive, he's been tucked away in a secret panda paradise. But his newfound friends and family are threatened by the rise of Kai (J.K. Simmons), a supernatural villain tearing through the country. Watch the new Kung Fu Panda 3 trailer after the jump.
